Wireless telegraphy has been used,
successfully eight hundred miles, 000
of which were over land.
r -In the past ten years Cheat Britain
bas settled no fewer than sixteen
differences with other countries by
arbitration,
-The Aecaster Independent re-
marks : "The Healey Falls scandal --
that is if it be a scandal -is one in
which the government and the people
have all the best end of the deal, and
the private corporation bas the little
end," Cannula wants more of such
"scandals" where the people get their
own, and the corporations have to be
satisfied with the small end.
-The Zionists ofCologne have sent
an appeal to King Edward to use his
influence to prevent the renewal of
massacres at Siedlce, Russia, where
200 Jews have been arrested without
warrant, and, it is to be feared, have
very little chance of a fair trial. King
Edward's sympathy is with the op-
pressed Jews, hilt it may not be easy
for hien to make his influence felt in
the matter.

-A life insurance physician says
the Scotch are more liable to accident
than are the English, for thirty-one
out of every thousand deaths in Scot-
land are clue to accident, and only
thirty in England. France suffers less
from accidents than any other coun-
try in Europe, only fifteen deaths in a
thousand being due to accident. In
the United States the proportion is
very high, being thirty-nine in the
thousand.
-There is to be a fight in Queen's -
Shelburne, when the unseated Finance
Minister, Mr. Fielding, goes back for
re-election. Conservatives have been
looking for a strong man to contest
the riding with Mr. Fielding, and have
prevailed upon Professor R. C. Wel-
don, Dean of the Halifax Law School,
to enter the field. Professor Weldon
was formerly member for Albert, N.
B., in which constituency he defeated
the present Minister of Railways, but
retired from politics. He has now
consented to oppose the Finance Min-
ister, only stipulating that the fight
must be a clean one.

-Hon. Nelson Monteith, Minister
sof Agriculture, has returned from a
trip north, whither he went with Hon,
Frank Cochrane, Minister of Lands
and Mines, with a view of spying out
the agricultural lands over the height
of land along the Temiskaming rail-
way, The party went 450 miles north
of Torouto, and Mr. Monteith says the
possibilities of the country are limited
only to the amount of energy and
skill that is put into agriculture. The
land is of clay loam. There is plenty
of timber and hundreds of miles of
good land. The intention of the Gov-
ernment is to establish an experimen-
tal or demonstration station about 250
miles north of North Bay for the pur-
pose of growing cereals, and later on
some of the hardy fruits.

-The summary report of the work
done by the geological survey during
1905 has just been issued. The mineral
production of the year is placed at
$68,574,707, an increase of eight and
one-half millions over the previous
year, and two millions over the output
of 1901, the best previous record. The
output for 1905 consisted of $37,250,830
worth of metallic and $31,123,877 of
non-metallic minerals. The gold pro-
duct amounted in value to $14,486,833,
of which the Yukon furnished $8,327,-
200 ; copper, $7,420,451; lead, $2,634,-
084; nickel, $7,550506; silver, $3,605,-
957 ; cobalt, $100,0001 zinc, $180,000.
The total production of pig iron was
527,932 tons, valued at $6,492,972, of
which it is estimated 70,554 tons, val-
ued at $1,047,860, should be attributed
to Canadian, and 457,378 tons, valued
at $5,445,112, to imported ore. The
value of the coal produced was $17,-
$17,058,615; asbestos, $1,486,859; pe-
troleum, $849,687; cement, $1,924,000;
building material, including brick,
stone, lime, etc., $0,005,000.

-From present indications, the
United States is rapidly coming to the
point where it will consume xnore
dairy produce than it raises. Official
statistics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture account for 17,000,000
dairy cows in the Republic, i. e,, cows
used exclusively for dairy purposes.
The increase since the census of 1880
has not kept pace with the increase of
population. An •increased number of
cows are being employed to supply
milk for cities and towns. Besides
this must be reckoned the increased
consumption of butter per eapita,
largely attributable, no doubt, to gen-
eral prosperity. All things considers
ed the way of the American dairyman
looks exceedingly bright ahead, and,
With 13 -cent cheese in the country, his
Canadian cousin is sharing the good
times, and those of us who persevere
in the face of labor scarcity and other
difficulties will reap the reward of the
strong -hearted, which, in this case,
consists he stable prosperity and im-
proved farina. There has probably
never been a more propitious time to
stay with the dairy business.

--A competent authority on the far
east declares that the Chinese have
male more progress during the last
five year than any other nation on
earth, not excepting Japan. He ad-
mits that China has not made melt
advances in iron and coal production
as has the U'niteti Stats., but he bow
tends that China has made a wider
and more profound change in her
whole attitude toward western civill-
zation than hats any other nation.
The latest proof that China's face is
set toward progress is found in the
imperial decree, issued recently, pro.
wising a change of latus, Perhaps the
most striking Indication of the Chi-
nese desire for western progress is
found in the recent imperial decree at-
tempting to establish the Christian
Sabbath. The decree makes the Sale
bath day a legal holiday. It is uot
probable that the decree will be large-
ly followed throughout Chine, as in-
deed it is not probable that the Chang
Tib Tung's decree in regard to the
new testament will be largely observ-
ed. These decrees, however, show the
aspirations of the Chinese for western
civllizatiou, *
-The conference of the Dominion
Ministers with the Provincial Pre-
miers is to take place on and rafter the
8th of October. According to the
official announcement the main busi-
ness is the discussion of provincial
subsidies, with a view to re -arrange-
ment and increase, The provincial
claims for larger subsidies are based
on the resolutions adopted by the
inter -provincial conference called by
the late Mr. Mercier, when he was
Premier of Quebec in 1887. A number
of years later a second conference of
provincial ministers re -affirmed these
declarations, ;and they now represent
the demands of several provincial ad-
ministrations, The resolutions call
for an increase in the amounts paid to
the provinces by something over one
and a half millions a year. While it
is stated that the financial arrange-
ments between the Dominion and the
Provinces are the subject of this pro-
posed conference, it will be remember-
ed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier promised
to lay another matter before the pro-
vincial representatives. Discussing
Senate Reform at the Last session, the
Premier set forth several schemes, in-
cluding one for the election of Sena-
tors by the provincial legislators. He
announced that when the provincial
premiers came to Ottawa to discuss
constitutional matters he would lay
the Senate question before them and
obtain their views on the subject,

-The city of Cleveland bas em-
barked on an interesting experiment
in the treatment of the unfortunate.
Some twelve miles from the city six
hundred acres of land have been se-
cured and here it is proposed shall be
located a group of institutions for the
shelter and cure of the physical, men-
tal and moral weaklings of society.
The most striking feature of this com-
prehensive humanitarian movement
will be the treatment of petty offen-
ders against the law. Instead of con-
fining these offenders in the common
gaol, it is proposed that they shall be
taken to the farm and there in the
open air, amid congenial surroundings,
earn their own living during the term
of their detention. The plan is.evi-
dently based on the theory that in the
treatment of those who have touched
the downward path, punishment is
not the only consideration. There
should be an honest, earnest effort
made to set that boy or mean right
again ; that the corrective features of
his treatment should be more promi-
nent than the punitive. So, instead
of confining him in a dingy, unsani-
tary, lonely prison house, he is given
the freedom of the fields and healthful
invigorating employment. In another
department of the institution provi-
sion is made for the employment of
those who, having served their time,
find it impossible to obtain work. By
this means the unfortunate is kept
free from those temptations to which
he has been accustomed to yield until
his moral courage has been strength-
ened by the securement of suitable
employment.

-St. Petersburg, the capital of un-
happy Russia, is a city of palaces,
enormous buildings occupied by the
grand dukes, the nobles, the ambassa-
dors and rich citizens. Most of them
are closed at this time of year. The
owners are in Paris or Switzerland, or
at the German summer resorts, or at
their country estates with their fami-
lies. There are many parks and open
squares for the benefit of the people,
and many great barracks for the ac-
commodation of the guards and other
regiments. Each bas its parade
ground covering several acres. There
are a large number of Government
offices located in different parts of the
city --vast buildings of more or less
architectural pretensions. These, with
the churches, cover a very large area,
and occupy that section of the city
whieh lies along the banks of the
Neva river. Behind them, extending
for miles upon a prairie, are the toilers
and tradesmen. The laboring people
are housed in apartment houses which
front wide streets and have plenty of
room and air and light. There are no
overcrowded tenements. The poor of
Russia are well sheltered. The tene-
ment houses are not more than four
or five storeys high. All of this makes
St. Petersburg a city of magnificent
distances. 15 covers a much larger
area that. New York, although it has
less than half the population. It is as
large as Chicago; and a battle might
be going on for weeks in one end of
town without the knowledge of the
people at the other end. The city is
intersected by a network of canals
connected with the Neva river, and
they are very usefttl for commerce,
Heavy' traffic, such as machinery, con.
struetion iron, stone and bricks, and
other building material are transport.
